Uniquecorn Strategies

When conversations around skincare started becoming more mainstream for men, NOAH entered the space with a straightforward approach: make skincare feel more accessible, approachable, and relevant for Filipino men.

In 2021, the focus was on introducing not just the brand, but also the founder and vision behind it. Rather than relying purely on product promotion, the strategy centered on founder-led storytelling to help audiences better understand NOAH's identity within the growing men's grooming market.

The goal was simple: create credibility while helping the brand stand out in an increasingly competitive skincare space.

Putting the Founder Front and Center

For emerging lifestyle and skincare brands, audiences often connect more deeply when there's a clear personality and story behind the business.

To support this, the campaign focused on:

Founder profile features and interviews
Strategic media pitching
Lifestyle and business media engagement
Storytelling centered on men's skincare and self-care

Instead of positioning skincare as overly technical or intimidating, the messaging kept things conversational, relatable, and easy to understand.

Building Credibility Through Media

Through targeted outreach, NOAH secured interview opportunities across major publications including Esquire, CNN Philippines, and The Manila Times.

These placements helped strengthen the founder's visibility while positioning NOAH within larger conversations around modern grooming, confidence, and self-care for men.

By leaning into credible media exposure instead of purely promotional content, the brand was able to establish stronger awareness and trust early on.

By the Numbers

Here's what the campaign achieved:

Features and interviews across major media platforms
Coverage from Esquire, CNN Philippines, and The Manila Times

Stronger positioning within the men's skincare market

The campaign helped introduce NOAH as a growing player within the local beauty and grooming industry.

More Than Just Skincare

What made the campaign effective was its focus on making skincare feel less intimidating and more culturally relatable for men.

By combining founder storytelling with lifestyle-focused media placements, NOAH was able to create visibility in a way that felt approachable instead of overly sales-driven.

That authenticity helped the brand connect with audiences beyond product features alone.
